Alright, this is a gradually hardening idea for the Heroic Exalts; the Exalted of 'no god'. My draft concepts are going to flitter about here until they harden up into something, hopefully, awesome.

The Celestial and Terrestrial Exalted have ruled the world for over 4000 years. In that time, they have squandered their gifts, turned against one another, and brought ruin to Creation. Under the effects of the Great Curse, they squabble and fight, as the world falls into the darkness.

Cipher: The Heroic Exalted are meant to be grand heroes, but this brings danger. The friends and families of an Exalt can become pawns of dark forces, and a person can be made vunerable by striking at their roots. Autochthon did not wish to force the Heroics apart from society, and so he made... arrangements.

Cipher acts upon the Loom of Fate, blurring the lines that connect the character to others. While these lines are still present, they are difficult to find. Any attempt to uncover details about the character's life, past, information networks, friends, or the like suffer a difficulty penalty equal to the character's Cipher score. The character becomes a mysterious hero.

The Celestial and Terrestrial Exalted have ruled the world for over 4000 years. In that time, they have squandered their gifts, turned against one another, and brought ruin to Creation. Under the effects of the Great Curse, they squabble and fight, as the world falls into the darkness.

Now, Autochthon has returned, and seen the damage that his brethern caused. In order to repair the world, he has created a new Exalt - the Mortal Exalted, Heroic Exalted. Chosen of No Gods, can they bring about what no one else has managed?

What legends will they write of your deeds?

They have been designed as the paragons of humanity, Exalted who must prove themselves to gain the Charms that others use to prove themselves.
